+# PRD: BUG-T12 — Audit Log does not show new calls
+
+**Task ID:** BUG-T12  
+**Priority:** P1  
+**Status:** In Progress  
+**Owner:** Codex (flow-run)  
+**Dependencies:** BUG-T8 (shared audit visibility)  
+
+## 1. Problem Statement
+
+The Web UI Audit Log table does not show newly recorded MCP tool calls while the dashboard is open. Users only see initial rows and cannot monitor live activity.
+
+## 2. Scope
+
+### In scope
+- Trace backend-to-frontend update path for audit entries.
+- Fix the issue so newly created audit entries are visible in the dashboard without manual page refresh.
+- Add regression coverage for backend and frontend update behavior.
+
+### Out of scope
+- New audit storage backends or schema redesign.
+- Dashboard visual redesign unrelated to data freshness.
+- Non-audit widgets.
+
+## 3. Deliverables
+
+- Backend/frontend code updates required to propagate and render new audit entries.
+- Tests validating new entries are emitted and displayed by update logic.
+- `SPECS/INPROGRESS/BUG-T12_Validation_Report.md` with quality-gate results.
+
+## 4. Technical Plan
+
+1. Reproduce expected/actual behavior via existing tests and code-path inspection.
+2. Inspect audit collection path:
+   - `AuditLogger` write path
+   - `/api/audit` response generation
+   - WebSocket or polling update payloads
+3. Inspect frontend audit table refresh logic and row patch/append strategy.
+4. Implement minimal fix preserving existing behavior for expanded-row state and refresh cadence.
+5. Add/adjust tests:
+   - Backend/API test that new audit entries are returned.
+   - Frontend/unit test for rendering update from new payload.
+6. Run quality gates and document evidence in validation report.
+
+## 5. Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] New tool calls appear in the Audit Log table during an active dashboard session.
+- [ ] `/api/audit` returns newly created entries after calls complete.
+- [ ] Existing audit row-state behavior regressions are not reintroduced.
+- [ ] Targeted regression tests added/updated and passing.
+- [ ] Full quality gates pass (`pytest`, `ruff check src/`, `mypy src/`, `pytest --cov` with >=90% coverage).
+
+## 6. Risks and Mitigations
+
+- Risk: Fixing refresh logic may reintroduce row folding regressions.
+  - Mitigation: Preserve ID-based incremental updates and keep existing row-state tests green.
+- Risk: Backend cache or ordering changes may affect export endpoints.
+  - Mitigation: Keep API schema unchanged and run integration tests around audit endpoints.
+
+## 7. Validation Strategy
+
+- Run focused tests for webui audit modules first.
+- Run full repository quality gates.
+- Capture command outputs and PASS/FAIL verdict in validation report.
+

+# Validation Report: BUG-T12
+
+**Task:** BUG-T12 — Audit Log does not show new calls  
+**Date:** 2026-02-20  
+**Branch:** feature/BUG-T12-audit-log-does-not-show-new-calls
+
+## Summary
+
+Implemented a dashboard-side audit refresh fix so new audit entries appear promptly during live traffic by:
+- Triggering audit reloads from live `metrics_update` events when `total_requests` changes.
+- Disabling browser cache for `/api/audit` fetches and appending a timestamp query param.
+- Ignoring stale in-flight audit fetch responses to prevent old payloads from overwriting newer rows.
+
+## Files Changed
+
+- `src/mcpbridge_wrapper/webui/static/dashboard.js`
+- `tests/unit/webui/test_server.py`
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [x] New tool calls appear in the Audit Log table during an active dashboard session.
+- [x] `/api/audit` returns newly created entries after calls complete.
+- [x] Existing audit row-state behavior regressions are not reintroduced.
+- [x] Targeted regression tests added/updated and passing.
+- [x] Full quality gates pass (`pytest`, `ruff check src/`, `mypy src/`, `pytest --cov` with >=90% coverage).
+
+## Quality Gates
+
+1. `PYTHONPATH=src pytest tests/unit/webui/test_server.py -q`  
+   Result: **PASS** (42 passed)
+
+2. `PYTHONPATH=src ruff check src/`  
+   Result: **PASS** (All checks passed)
+
+3. `PYTHONPATH=src mypy src/`  
+   Result: **PASS** (Success: no issues found in 18 source files)
+
+4. `PYTHONPATH=src pytest`  
+   Result: **PASS** (633 passed, 5 skipped)
+
+5. `PYTHONPATH=src pytest --cov`  
+   Result: **PASS** (coverage 91.33%, threshold >= 90%)
+
+## Notes
+
+- Existing warnings from `websockets.legacy` deprecation remain unchanged and are outside BUG-T12 scope.

+### BUG-T19: Audit Log and Session Timeline are inconsistent with tool charts in multi-process runs
+- **Type:** Bug / Web UI / Data Consistency
+- **Status:** 🔴 Open
+- **Priority:** P1
+- **Discovered:** 2026-02-20
+- **Component:** Web UI backend (`webui/server.py`, `webui/audit.py`, `webui/shared_metrics.py`)
+- **Affected Clients:** Cursor and other short-lived multi-process MCP clients
+- **Affected Surface:** Audit Log table, Session Timeline, Tool usage charts
+
+#### Description
+Dashboard surfaces are inconsistent: tool charts show fresh activity while Audit Log and Session Timeline remain stale (or show only old rows such as an earlier `initialize`), especially after reconnecting Cursor.
+
+#### Symptoms
+```text
+New tool usage appears in chart widgets.
+Audit Log does not add a new row for reconnect/initialize.
+Session Timeline still shows older last event.
+```
+
+#### Root Cause Analysis
+Likely split data source model:
+- charts/KPIs use `SharedMetricsStore` (cross-process SQLite),
+- audit/sessions use process-local `AuditLogger` in-memory entries loaded at startup.
+When a different wrapper process receives new events, chart data advances but local audit/session views can lag.
+
+#### Workaround
+Use export endpoints (`/api/audit/export/json` or `/api/audit/export/csv`) for a broader snapshot, but real-time consistency remains unreliable.
+
+#### Resolution Path
+- [ ] Reproduce with repeated Cursor reconnects in a multi-process setup and capture API deltas between `/api/metrics`, `/api/audit`, and `/api/sessions`
+- [ ] Choose and implement a single shared source of truth for audit/session data across processes (SQLite-backed audit store or equivalent)
+- [ ] Ensure `/api/audit` reflects newly recorded entries regardless of which wrapper process logged them
+- [ ] Ensure `/api/sessions` is computed from the same shared data source as Audit Log
+- [ ] Add integration regression test covering reconnect + new initialize row visibility in Audit Log and Session Timeline
+- [ ] Document consistency guarantees and limitations in `docs/webui-setup.md` and troubleshooting guide
+
+#### Related Items
+- **BUG-T12** ✅ — Audit Log live refresh path improved but did not fully solve cross-process consistency
+- **BUG-T8** ✅ — Cross-process audit visibility baseline; likely related implementation surface
+- **P10-T2** ✅ — Shared metrics store pattern reference

+### BUG-T20: Session Timeline can show negative duration due to incorrect entry ordering
+- **Type:** Bug / Web UI / Session Analytics
+- **Status:** 🔴 Open
+- **Priority:** P1
+- **Discovered:** 2026-02-20
+- **Component:** Session detection path (`webui/server.py`, `webui/sessions.py`)
+- **Affected Clients:** All clients using Session Timeline
+- **Affected Surface:** Session Timeline duration and ordering
+
+#### Description
+Session Timeline can display impossible negative durations (for example, `-174224s`) and stale-looking last events.
+
+#### Symptoms
+```text
+Session shows negative duration.
+Session start/end ordering appears inverted.
+```
+
+#### Root Cause Analysis
+`detect_sessions()` expects entries sorted by timestamp ascending, but callers pass most-recent-first audit entries, causing inverted session boundaries and invalid duration math.
+
+#### Workaround
+None.
+
+#### Resolution Path
+- [ ] Normalize session input ordering to ascending timestamps before calling `detect_sessions()`
+- [ ] Add defensive sorting (or contract enforcement) in session computation path
+- [ ] Add regression test asserting non-negative session duration for mixed/newest-first inputs
+- [ ] Validate timeline rendering shows monotonic ordering and correct latest event after reconnect/activity
+
+#### Related Items
+- **BUG-T19** — Shared audit/session consistency issue may amplify session timeline staleness
+- **P11-T2** ✅ — Session Timeline feature implementation

 ### Phase 10: Web UI Control & Audit Dashboard
 
 **Intent:** Create a web-based dashboard for real-time monitoring, control, and audit logging of the XcodeMCPWrapper. Provides visibility into MCP tool usage, performance metrics, and operational control.
